The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7

In The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7, David Ray Griffin provides a definitive study of what happens when political concerns are permitted to override science and the scientific method. With intellectual finesse and rigor worthy of a scientist, Griffin demolishes any claim that NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) has to scientific credibility in its study of the collapse of WTC 7. This book is a must read for scientists, architects, engineers and all who are concerned with the restoration of science to its rightful place in our democracy. --John D. Wyndham (Ph.D., Physics, Cambridge University), former Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology
David Ray Griffin has written a powerful book that asks disturbing questions and seeks to debunk myths about September 11. It is provocative, well-researched, and beyond convincing. --Rosie O Donnell
If you consider it important that the US government's science agencies provide truthful information to the public, this book by David Ray Griffin is a must read. It shows beyond a shadow of doubt that NIST's report on the 'collapse' of WTC 7 did not tell us the truth. --Dwain Deets, former Director for Research Engineering at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center
David Ray Griffin has provided a comprehensive dismantling of NIST's theory about WTC 7, according to which it suffered global collapse because of ordinary building fires. Besides showing that NIST committed massive scientific fraud, Griffin also points out that NIST was able to complete its theory only by affirming a miracle: a steel-framed high-rise building coming down in free fall even though explosives had not been used to remove its columns. --Richard Gage, member of American Institute of Architects; founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
Based on my engineering knowledge and experience, I fully agree with Dr. Griffin's conclusion that NIST's report on the collapse of WTC 7 is pseudo-science, containing claims that are misleading and even outright false. Numerous contradictions exposed by outside experts during the public review process were completely ignored, because they did not fit NIST's contrived explanation. --Jack Keller, Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers; member of the National Academy of Engineering
Once again, David Ray Griffin has taken on a complicated piece of the 9/11 story and made it understandable. Whether you are a novice about 9/11 or have been following the inconsistencies of the government's story closely, you will find Griffin's new book enlightening. --Lorie Van Auken, widow of Kenneth Van Auken, who was killed at WTC 1 on 9/11, and member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission

In 2004, over 15,000 scientists charged that the Bush administration had engaged in persistent 'distortion of scientific knowledge for partisan political ends.' In this book, David Ray Griffin shows that NIST's report on the destruction of WTC 7 is plagued throughout with various forms of scientific fraud, all of which point to a deliberate effort to avoid the extensive evidence that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition. --Earl Staelin, attorney in Denver, Colorado

Professor Griffin's meticulous dissection of NIST's WTC 7 report shows just why its theory of fire-induced progressive collapse is wholly inadequate and essentially fraudulent, and why the actual demise of this huge building could have been brought about only by intentional demolition, which could have been set up and carried out only by domestic forces. --Tony Szamboti, mechanical engineer and former member of the US Navy

At 5:21 in the afternoon on 9/11 — almost seven hours after both the Twin Towers had collapsed — Building 7 of the World Trade Center also came down, even though it had not been struck by an airplane and had fires on only a few floors. The reason for its collapse was considered a mystery. In August 2008, the official report on WTC 7 was finally released by NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), which declared: ‘the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery’. The principal author of this report assured the press that ‘science is really behind what we have said’. Noting that President Obama has declared that his administration ‘will restore science to its rightful place’, David Ray Griffin shows that science emphatically does not support the conclusions of NIST’s WTC 7 report. He demonstrates that NIST is guilty of the most serious types of scientific fraud: fabricating, falsifying, and ignoring evidence. His study concludes by pointing out that even after all its distortions of fact, the NIST report has still left the world wondering: How could a building brought down by fire — not explosives — have come down in free fall?
